Bristol named as one of most popular staycation destinations in UK

Hotel chain Premier Inn has unveiled the most popular city breaks around the world and in the UK.

By reviewing Google search data around the world and the United Kingdom, they discovered where many crave those well-earned holidays the most.

In the UK, we were surely not surprised to find the top 10 cities which were known for either their quaintness and greenery as well those who yearn to visit bustling metropolises.

In eighth place, Bristol was listed as one of the most popular among British travellers, while Bath reached sixth place.

Meanwhile, the top three most popular staycation destinations, according to Google searches, were London, Edinburgh and Manchester- as Edinburgh and Glasgow were the only two cities in Scotland to have made onto the top 10 list.

Here in Bristol, the city prides itself in being the British city to be named as the European Green Capital, as well as being known for its architecture, art and sciences.

Bristol’s tourist attractions include Cargo & Wapping Wharf, Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, Clifton Suspension Bridge, SS Great Britain, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery and many, many more.

To add further intrigue, Bristol was even named Britain’s ‘kindest city’ , due to the city’s good deeds that have been well documented across the city - such as offering up seats to the elderly, donating to charity and picking up litter- as if our local hotspots weren't appealing already.
